“I am excited to work on a series that contributes to the larger conversation we are having right now, holding those in power accountable for their actions,” said host of the series and television journalist Lauren Sivan. “We are living in an unprecedented time of accountability and this series makes it a mission to peel back the curtain on cases where individuals exploited their positions to disastrous and shocking results.”
